[quote=Anonymous]Right, BASIS has always been upfront in AZ (a very charter friendly republican state) that students (and parents) need to get with it or get out (or not make a fuss and take their F quietly). Autistic kids can do OK as long as they are not disruptive, but won't get much individualized attention. Same for hearing/visual impairment. Emotional disturbance and learning disability kids not so much. BASIS takes a smack-up-the-backside-of-the-head approach to ED in particular. Looks like that is not flying in DC. Like I said, I personally feel LD/ED kids need to be accommodated somewhere in a public school system, but not necessarily at the most rigorous academic schools. But then also I understand the equal protection response from parents with kids on IEPs. And then there is the law, which I guess trumps my opinions and that of BASIS.[/quote]
